I have always had trouble with the planning for the New Year
in January. I try it every year and I just do not seem to really get it into
gear until June. But I started to think about it and I was born June 15th...
51 years ago today! It really is my New Year. So many events in my life start
and or end around this time of year. All those years of school ending in June… then
the start of summer… then the start of the next path. I was married in June. I
became a Mom in June. I separated in June. …
This past year has been one of truly surviving, trying to
get my head above water, juggling so many things, learning so many things,
endings and beginnings. I tend not to stop and really look at what I accomplish…
usually just pushing to do more. But the past few weeks I have taken a few
moments to review… to actually breathe… to say WOW … you (and the kids) made it
through a really tough year.
This next year, I really want to get back to taking better
care of myself. More than 6 hours a sleep each night would be great. Exercise
more. Hang out on the couch more than just Friday nights. Go out more with
friends. Create more.
Not just planning my new life, but actually living it…
A friend gave me this visual journal for Mother’s Day.
He
said he chose it so that I would stay in the right side of the brain each day! I decided to save it, to start Day 1 on my Birthday.
